RACISM OR DIVERSITY?

Racism
is as legitimate and as intellectually defensible as any
other philosophic construct, and offers the added benefit of forestalling the
sort of global homogenization that would bring an end to
diversity.

All
societies must exercise some form of quality control as quality is
defined by each society. Some (most) societies see a connection
between quality and genetics. Even within a particular race there are
distinctions between people with propitious and those with less propitious
genetic inheritances.

Is discrimination WITHIN demographics less wicked,
according to post-modern thought, than discrimination BETWEEN identifiable demographics? The more gifted ones will normally enjoy
a sort of "racism" in the form of higher incomes, better educational
outcomes, and the rest.

Are liberals disturbed that discrimination occurs
not only between, but within all demographics? And can civilization exist
without the inequality produced by genes? Creative cultures, judging
by the record, are always highly unequal.

About Me

I am delighted with the collapse of the western banking system, a deserved denouement that offers us the chance to rid our society of some of the putrefaction - celebrities, billionaires, television - that has so depreciated American culture over the past sixty years. And then, too, we must not ignore the very good possibility that some part of the twelve million illegal trespassers now disfiguring our landscape will see fit to return to the living hells they have created and abandoned.
